Lucky Blue Smith on Justin Bieber's Hair Transformation

Backstage at Michael Kors, Lucky Blue Smith has Visine running down his face. "I'm really crying," says the 17-year-old, as a makeup artist dilutes the other eye. The mega-famous Mormon model has been out every night this week "going to a bunch of dinners and events," but his bright skin and superhuman energy levels suggest otherwise. "I usually just have to get in the shower and then I'm good," he says while the makeup artist sets about blurring imperceivable flaws. Naturally, we ask him about blond maintenance and his new hair twin, Justin Bieber.

What's been the most fun so far?

Probably seeing my old friends that I've met at show seasons in Europe and stuff like that. I like meeting new people as well, so that and seeing old friends is kind of the best. A lot of them aren't here, but my friends Luca and Michael, they're here and they're the homies for sure, so there's a couple people that I'm always hanging out with.

When you're out every night, how do you wake up for shows on time?

I usually just have to get in the shower and then I'm good. So if I just stumble and crawl to the shower then I'm good. I don't like coffee. I don't need it because I have a lot of energy right now and I just woke up 20 minutes ago.

What about the hair? Does that require special products?

You just have to condition it really well. I use hotel conditioner right now. I'm staying at the Hyatt. I worry about every hotel conditioner quality. I was filming a movie and we were filming in a really small town in Utah and this guy Oscar in Salt Lake City bleached it last, but I usually go to this place called Spoke and Weal in L.A.

What do they do?

They mix their little powders and their whatever stuff and they apply it to the roots everywhere and let it sit for like 30 minutes.

How do you feel about Justin Bieber biting your bleached hair look?

I think he can pull it off. He's just doing him and having fun. And bleaching his hair is fun so it's okay. I've actually never even met him, but his bleached-hair thing is cool.
